1) Sift flour into a bowl and add sugar and butter. Work the butter with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs, then knead with your hands until the mixture comes together into a dough ball.

2) Spread the mixture into a round cake pan of 18 cm (7 inch) diameter. Smooth with your fingertips, spreading the mixture and leveling it with your hands and the back of a spoon. Prick the cookie dough with a fork, and press the edges with your thumbs to create a scalloped edge (traditional Scottish shortbread cookie decor). Bake at 170 deg C (325 F) or gas mark 3 for 30-40 minutes.

3) Take it out of the oven, and cut into 8 triangles (make 4 cuts) whilst hot. Cool on a wire rack.

4) Meanwhile melt the chocolate in the microwave, then dip the tips of the triangle shortbread cookies into the melted chocolate and top with star sprinkles. Let cookies set on top of parchment paper. Sprinkle with more sugar on top if desired just before serving.

These cookies also make great edible Holiday gifts!!

Do you have any traditional cookie recipes you bake during this time of year?
